🇹🇷🇮🇱🇸🇦🇯🇴 8 Muslim-majority nations just sent a unified warning shot to Israel over Jerusalem. Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi, and the UAE released a joint statement condemning Israeli incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque, settler raids under police escort, and Israeli flags being raised inside the compound. They also called out the approval of 30+ new settlements as a direct violation of international law and ICJ rulings. The bloc reaffirmed Jordan's exclusive custodianship over the holy sites and rejected any move toward annexation or altering Jerusalem's status quo.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇹🇼 The Iran war has quietly opened a window for China. Trump officials now assess the US could not fully defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion in the near term. 54 days in, the US has burned through 1,000+ Tomahawks and up to 2,000 air-defense missiles. Full replacement: up to 6 years. Iran cost America missiles, but it might cost Taiwan everything. Beijing is watching the stockpile. Not the headlines. @KobeissiLetter

🚀 It's becoming clear: Türkiye didn't just buy 20 #Typhoons for $10.7 billion ($535M/jet), it bought into the program itself, its own seat on the #Eurofighter Consortium; giving Ankara full access/modify privileges & the ability to "nationalize" the jets with Turkish weapons. 🇹🇷

Watch this reaction by Carney this morning being asked if the US alcohol ban might be doing more harm than good when it comes to trade negotiations. He once again brings up our relationship is over and nostalgia nonsense. This guy couldn’t care less about the millions of people relying on trade with the largest economy in the world. He is clearly sabotaging it. Canadians better wake up.

🇷🇺🇪🇺 JUST IN: A Dutch military intelligence assessment says Russia is preparing for a potential war with NATO and could be ready for confrontation within a year after the Ukraine conflict ends. The report warns Moscow remains the biggest direct security threat to Europe, while also strengthening ties with China in cyber and military domains. It adds that Russia is unlikely to launch any NATO conflict while the Ukraine war continues, but is actively building long term readiness for future escalation.

Most Europeans and Americans have heard of Pearl Harbor, but far fewer know what happened four years earlier in Nanking (Nanjing), China, It was one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century. On December 13, 1937, Imperial Japanese troops captured the then Chinese capital, what followed over the next six weeks is known as the Nanking Massacre, sometimes also called “The Rape of Nanking.” Over 300,000 Chinese civilians and disarmed soldiers were brutally killed, for scale thats more than the combined death tolls of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tens of thousands of women and little girls (some as young as 8, others very elderly) were systematically raped, Japanese soldiers even held contests to see who could rape the most victims. Entire families were bayoneted, machine gunned, buried alive, or burned to death, soldiers used bound prisoners for bayonet practice. A third of the city was burned to the ground. A small group of Westerners, including an American missionary, a German businessman (who was a also a Nazi Party member), and doctors, created a “Safety Zone” that probanly saved an estimated 250,000 lives while the massacre raged around them. The world watched in real time as American and European newspapers ran front page stories, many diplomats also sent frantic cables as newsreels showed the horrific aftermath. After the war, many of Japan’s top generals were tried and some hanged, but many perpetrators, and even the royal family member who allegedly issued the “kill all captives” order, were never punished. Today the death toll is still debated in modern Japan, some politicians downplay or even deny it, which of course reopens old wounds with China and even Korea every few years. Why does this matter in 2025? Well, Because remembering Nanking isn’t about simply appointing balme, its about understand history and how it shapes modern policy and perceptions. If you only knew about Pearl Harbor from the Pacific War, I hope this informs your thinking on the subject, and most importantly the suffering of millions of Chinese cIvillians during WW2. Up to 20 million Chinese died in that catastrophic conflict, second only to the Soviets. It may also go some way to helping understand how Chinese / Japanese relations are colored by the past. As you now see, With very good reason.

🔔🇺🇸 Regime Change Continues in the U.S. Military Pete Hegseth FIRED Navy Secretary John Phelan Amid Pentagon Infighting This is the 14th high ranking military member that has been FIRED since the war on iran. Phelan is leaving the Pentagon effective immediately after months of feuding with Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth over management and the Navy's shipbuilding program. Reportedly, he was NOT a yes man, and they fueled a lot of the conflict. He did not want to follow orders. The U.S. is 7 weeks into a war with Iran and its Navy secretary just got pushed out over a personality conflict.

The Power of the Market Over the Conflict The war in Iran shows that no matter how powerful a military force may be, it becomes small and heavily pressured the moment it stands in the way of the market. Disrupting commercial flows means dealing with forces far greater than any military. It’s almost like trying to fight the current of a river or the force of the wind. Our entire evolution on Earth has been built on trade and exchange, and any conflict that puts these vital trade corridors at risk must be avoided at all costs, regardless of the size of your army. Ignoring this reality will turn into a strategically lost battle, even if you achieve good military results, because of the overwhelming indirect pressures generated by the conflict, especially when the adversary is prepared to exploit this weakness. This principle applies to any conflict.

"China is leading the US in 66 out of 74 advanced technologies." - James Kynge, Fellow at Chatham House In other words, China doesn't steal US technology, because the US is far behind China. Why would modern man steal flint from a caveman?
Senator Ted Cruz@SenTedCruz

The American economy loses between $400 to $600 billion every year due to China’s intellectual property theft. It has been described as the largest transfer of wealth in human history, and it should be stopped.

BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran issues a warning suggesting it could cut undersea internet cables and cloud infrastructure in the Persian Gulf - Tasnim Dozens of major submarine fiber-optic cables run through the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz (at least 17 systems in the broader area per analyses). Key ones include systems like AAE-1, FALCON, Gulf Bridge International, EPEG, SMW5, and extensions of 2Africa Pearls. Together with Red Sea routes, these carry a huge portion of global data traffic—estimates range from ~17-30% for Gulf-specific segments up to claims of 95% on certain Asia-Europe-Africa corridors. They support internet, cloud services (Amazon, Microsoft, Google data centers in the Gulf), finance, and AI projects in the region.

THE ISLANDER
THE ISLANDER@IslanderWORLD·
🇱🇧🇺🇸 The US naval blockade theater with Iran is collapsing in real time. At least 34 oil tankers and gas carriers linked to Iran have already sliced straight through Washington’s much hyped cordon in the Persian Gulf. 19 vessels sailed out past the blockade line. Fifteen more sailed in. All of them crossed the imaginary line the US tried to draw from Ras al-Hadd in Oman northeast to the Iran-Pakistan border. According to Vortexa tracking data reports the exact numbers and what we're seeing is a direct bypass of the American porous blockade despite Trump’s repeated boasts of success. Nour News and other outlets close to the IRGC are framing it even more bluntly — the so called naval siege has been broken before it could even get started. The US Navy simply doesn’t have enough hulls on station to stop every Iranian commercial fleet vessel (only single digits have been seized). The tankers go dark, reroute, and keep the oil flowing anyway. This is the Epstein coalition’s grand gunboat theatre laid bare: a blockade announced with maximum fanfare that is already being treated like a speed bump by the very nation it was supposed to strangle. Now ask yourself how many esptein coalition aligned vessels are getting through Iran's blockade? Quite the humilating contrast. The owners of the Gulf are still very much in business and in control of what enters Hormuz. And every tanker that slips through the US mirage of a Blockade is another public humiliation for an empire that can’t even enforce its own threats.

🇺🇸 Congress just hit rock bottom... again. Gallup’s latest tracking shows only 10% of Americans approve of the way Congress is doing its job. 86% disapprove — tying the all time record high for pure, seething contempt. Think about that. This is the same Congress that can’t pass a budget without turning it into a circus, can’t fix crumbling infrastructure, can’t stop the endless money printer, but can always find billions for ISRAEL'S wars, bank bailouts, and donor-class perks. They lecture the planet about democracy while their own voters treat them like a toxic waste dump. Decades of the same graph, the same slow-motion collapse: approval bouncing between pathetic and abysmal, disapproval hovering in the stratosphere. 1974 to 2026 — nothing changes except the excuses. The empire’s legislative branch is despised by the very people it claims to serve. Natural consequences don’t vote party lines.
 When your own citizens hate the institution that’s supposed to represent them more than almost anything else in public life, the rot isn’t a bug but the entire operating system. The world is watching this clown show in real time. And the bill for decades of arrogance, grift, and warmongering is finally coming due.

🚨🇷🇺 WEST'S WORST NIGHTMARE: Russia Building the War Machine of Tomorrow After four years of fighting in Ukraine, Russia has created a smart, practical way to build new weapons and systems. They focus on what actually works on the battlefield, not fancy stuff. 🔸 Russia plans to train 1 million specialists in drones and unmanned systems by 2030. 🔸 They’re boosting AI experts by more than 400% every year. 🔸 Russian V2U drones can now fly, find targets, and attack completely on their own — even when signals are jammed. 🔸 Russia made over 30 major upgrades to Iranian Shahed drones in under 3 years, developing an entire line of Geran drones. 🔸 New Glaz/Groza software lets them spot a target and hit it with artillery in just minutes instead of hours. 🔸Russia is empowering students, volunteers, and even “garage” inventors. Their own Defense Minister proudly supports this decentralized energy. The scary part? These same Russian-backed drone tactics are already hitting American bases in the Middle East, not just in Ukraine. Do you think the West is capable of keeping up with Russia's pace of innovation?

It is a mystery for you because you live on Mars. The European powers built what is called today as Israel. Why would they go against it when it is the first line of Defense against the Global South and the Middle East? Europe and the west wants to subdue the Muslim world in specific and the global south in general. Israel is the head of their spear. That’s not mystery. That’s basic modern history.

The same day the EU once again fails to use its leverage to slow Israel, Von der Leyen states: “We must succeed in completing the European continent so that it is not shaped by Russian, Turkish, or Chinese influence.” Turkey is, for the first time, placed in the same category as Russia and China: a systemic threat, precisely as an imperialist war, boosted by religious fanaticism, rages on the other side of the Mediterranean. And this happens at the very moment Netanyahu is escalating his campaign against Turkey. How Turkey can be seen as a greater threat than Israel by the majority of Europeans is a mystery. This is liberal nationalism laying bare its entrenchment and its clash-of-civilizations logic.
